An unhealthy, persistent or irrational
fear of God is a specific phobia that can cause a great deal of distress to the
sufferer and his loved ones.

This is an anxiety condition that can
greatly impact the quality of life of the sufferer: lost opportunities, poor
grades or performance at work, lack of promotions, degrading health can all
result from this phobia.

Causes:

A real-life childhood experience: bad
grades, death of a loved one following a bad conduct might be linked to “God’s
wrath or bad karma”. Mild cases of childhood theophobia generally go away by
the age of six. However, some persist well into adulthood.
